    Roast Chicken Chimichangas

    WW Points
    Serves 6

    Nonstick cooking spray
    2-1/2 cups shredded roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts
    1 cup (4 ozs) crumbled queso fresco cheese
    1/4 cup chopped green onions
    1 tsp dried oregano
    1/4 tsp ground cumin
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 can (4.5 ozs) chopped green chiles, drained
    1 can (16 ozs) fat-free refried beans
    6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
    1/2 cup bottled green salsa

    These chimichangas are oven-browned instead of deep-fried. The filling uses queso fresco. If it's not available, try shredded Monterey Jack.

    Preheat the oven to 500ºF. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, green onions, oregano, cumin, garlic and chiles; toss well.

    Spread 1/4 cup beans down the center of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 2/3 cup chicken mixture; roll up. Place the rolls, seam sides down, on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Coat the tops of the chimichangas with cooking spray. Bake at 500º degrees for 7 minutes.
